$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git tinycc-git/
for viewing:
$ cd tinycc-git/ && gitk --all

You can also download snapshots at http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git

There are some commits related to x86-64:
http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git?a=search&h=refs%2Fheads%2Fmaster&st=commit&s=x86.64&sr=1

As to improvement with correctness, hard to say without knowing what
the bug is.  There is some improvement with debug-info IIRC which
might help to find out at least.
